Happy January, y’all! I can’t believe the holidays are over, but of course…around here, there’s always a reason to celebrate! Whether it’s a birthday, a baby shower, game night, or just a festive dinner with the family, I wanted to share my easy recipe for shrimp tostada bites! They’re easy to make for a crowd, always the first to disappear at my parties, and quite

Gearing up for Blakey’s first Christmas around these parts, last minute present shopping, and trying to actually relax but, I’m back with a super simple caramel gingerbread cupcake recipe that will be the bell of your jingle ball! I hope you’ll try it and if you do, tag me @Pizzazzerie on Instagram so I can see your sweet cupcakes! Whether you are entertaining friends at

It recently came to my attention that brown sugar pie is not a commonly known dessert. “What?!”, I thought! The world doesn’t know about BROWN SUGAR PIE?! Well I intend to change that, one Pizzazzerie reader at at time. This pie is a family tradition that my mother made for every holiday, her parents made for every holiday, and generations back. Southern brown sugar pie

I cannot tell you how excited I am to share this recipe for gingerbread cinnamon rolls with you! I’ve made it three times in a week and a half, it’s that good. I took a batch to my Mom’s for her to try too. One of my favorite holiday flavors is gingerbread so I really wanted to put a twist on the classic cinnamon rolls by

It’s December! Snow, Christmas trees, lights, parties, and of course – holiday desserts! My fave! You know I love a good “mini” dessert (I have a whole Pinterest board devoted to them). This year, I decided Christmas needed chocolate peppermint mini cakes. They literally couldn’t be easier to make and served up on fancy dishes, they’re the perfect party treat! I’m hosting a few dinner parties

Now that the holidays are upon us, it’s time to celebrate with some new baking recipes! I love red velvet cake and I love chocolate chip cookies so it’s really a wonder why I hadn’t already combined these two into the perfect little cookie bar! No better time than Christmas season, right? The thing is, these Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars aren’t just your

Football is on, the family has gathered, and it’s time to enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays! So much of Thanksgiving is geared towards the “big meal”, the turkey, and the desserts. What we often forget are all the times spent enjoying company the day before Thanksgiving and leading up to the feast. Avoid lots of onlookers in the kitchen hoping for “just a bite” of the

When I think of Thanksgiving, my mind immediately jumps to the delicious desserts like pumpkin and pecan pies. Shocking, huh? We have a divided house when it comes to pies. Half of us think pumpkin pie hung the moon and the other half is all pecan. I like to switch back and forth every year, crazy I know. This year, I partnered with Safeway, Vons,

Gah, I just love disguising desserts as breakfast. I also love combining treats like a caramel apple crisp and donuts! Behold my caramel apple crisp donuts! I actually made these last year but realized I hadn’t shared the recipe here on Pizzazzerie so here we go! Apple crisps are a family favorite from childhood. I can still remember my Mom going around the table asking

November is here! It’s my birthday month and Thanksgiving month! I’m excited to share one of my favorite little treat ideas for the holiday. It’s the perfect way to say “thanks” this Thanksgiving? I’m going to teach you how to make cute and delicious decorated fortune cookies filled with your own, personalized messages! Serve them up as favors at your Thanksgiving or place one on each dinner

I don’t know about you, but it’s Halloween movie season in my household! Whether it’s Hocus Pocus or Friday the 13th, there is no shortage of Halloween movies on lately! I decided to give a Halloween twist to our favorite movie treat – popcorn! This Monster Munch recipe couldn’t be easier and it’s so good! I’m also sharing how to make these DIY Monster Treat Cups!

If you love salted caramel treats, then you must try salted pumpkin fudge! My husband and I disagree on the whole “salted” obsession. I love it. He isn’t so sure but I’m slowly moving him over to the dark side one treat at a time. He even loved this salted pumpkin fudge. It’s the perfect combination of my love for pumpkin in the fall and
